\"book<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Big sister back home to wedding-plan,
School stress, swim team stress,
Now this!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing for the championship swim meet is grueling, but it’s much, much easier for Mia than finding a date for her sister Sam’s wedding will be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Black teen, fact is better than fiction, and the rom-coms that her friends love are just ridiculous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But just maybe they have the right idea – analyzing the best meet-cutes<\/a> in rom-com movies can help the high school junior find the right guy. If she fails, Mia will be stuck with the groom’s spoiled 12-year-old brother for the rehearsal dinner and wedding and reception\u2026 ick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the math team whiz gets to work, listing eligible guys at school, arranging meet-cute opportunities, and even getting outside her comfort zone by volunteering at the community garden with Mom (gotta have all the accomplishments if she wants to be elected NHS president next year like Mom and Sam were\u2026sigh).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can the days be passing so fast?
Can she find a nice guy that Sam will approve of?
Does she really want the future that her family has scripted?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sam becomes more like Bridezilla<\/a> as her wedding approaches, while Mia keeps trying to meet the right guy amid all her school responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your favorite meet-cute scenario?
**kmm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
